Blue countdown signals Taylor Swift's sixth 'Showgirl' album: 'Baby, That's Show Business'
Taylor Swift has added another variant to her growing "The Life of a Showgirl" campaign. A shimmering blue countdown clock appeared on her website at 11 a.m. ET on Aug. 21, set to expire at 2 p.m. ET. This marks the third countdown in 10 days that sent Swifties into a frenzy of speculation. Some were hoping for a single release. The timer led to a sixth version of the album available for $29.99. Enter, "Baby, That's Show Business," in a first and only pressing limited run. The "lakeside beach blue sparkle" and "lovely bouquet golden" vinyls are available until Aug. 23 at 1:59 p.m. ET The sixth version is resurfacing the conversation on "Taycapitalism" with fans buzzing over growing fatigue: Influencer Dan Cashio posted a video with an empty threat: "I'm not engaging. You can take your glitter blue and you can... empty my bank account." Taylor Swift 'New Heights' podcast: All the biggest moments about her 'Showgirl' era 3... 2... 1... On Aug. 11, Swift launched a orange countdown leading to a "New Heights" tease followed by a purple one on Aug. 18 that unveiled her "Shiny Bug" variant. Both were four-hour timers.

‘Big Brother' 27: Why Fans Want Riley Evicted
The competition on Big Brother season 27 is getting heated, and while curveballs are always to be expected on BB, there is one possibility that the houseguests might not see coming. Calls from fans for Rylie Jeffries to be kicked out of the Big Brother house because of his treatment of Katherine Woodman have been growing steadily since the start of the season— and now his mother has stepped in to try to defend him. Katherine and Rylie have always been close in the house this season, but when their flirtation turned romantic, fans started noticing a distressing pattern in Rylie's attitude towards her and are now petitioning to have him removed from the show. Specifically, multiple viral clips taken from the Big Brother live feed show Rylie demanding physical touch, like hugs and kisses, even when Katherine says no. Others show Rylie talking down to Katherine, dismissing her gameplay, pulling away while clearly wanting her affection—which fans have dubbed toxic and manipulative behavior. Many fans have expressed concern for Katherine's well being in the house, even taking to Katherine's Instagram comments and seeking out her family members. An Instagram account linked to Tracy Michelle Spencer—identified as Katherine's stepmom—reportedly addressed the concerns in comments captured by @BigBrotherSpoilers. In her statement, Tracy implied that she and Katherine's father had been in touch with CBS and production, writing in part, 'I'm pleased to report that CBS has been responsive and communicative. Once we receive the requested information, we will make a public statement that is based on first hand knowledge rather than speculation.' It's unclear what information Katherine's family has requested from CBS, but given the growing concern among fans, hopefully it involves assurances from Katherine herself that she feels safe in the Big Brother house. Rylie's mother, meanwhile, defended her son in a new interview. 'He's not some obsessive stalker-type person like everyone is saying,' Michelle Jeffries told TMZ. 'He's got a great heart and wears it on his sleeve.' She also defended her son from allegations that he had welcomed a baby while in the Big Brother house and had been refusing to support his pregnant ex when he left to compete on the show. According to TMZ, Michelle said that her son was willing to take a paternity test, but had 'no reason to believe' that he was the father, despite his ex's reported statements claiming otherwise. There was one controversy, however, that Michelle didn't comment on: Rylie has reportedly been charged twice for driving without a valid license, which has caused some fans to wonder how he was even allowed in the house in the first place given the extensive background checks prior to casting.

Paramount Plus sets 'Mayor of Kingstown' release date — watch the action-packed teaser trailer now
Fans of "Mayor of Kingstown" won't have to wait much longer to see what comes next for the McLusky family. Paramount Plus has officially revealed that the gritty crime drama is returning for its fourth season this fall. "Mayor of Kingstown" season 4 will debut on Sunday, October 26. The series, led by Jeremy Renner as power broker Mike McLusky, continues to explore the uneasy balance between law enforcement, criminals and everyone in between living in the prison town of Kingstown, Michigan. Alongside the release date, Paramount Plus dropped a brand-new teaser trailer teasing where things are headed after last season's explosive finale. Get all the details about what to expect with the new set of episodes and check out the new trailer below. When it comes to season 4, it looks like we'll pick up directly after Mike's clandestine meeting with Russian mobster Milo Sunter (Aidan Gillen) in season 3's finale, which didn't solve all of the McLusky's problems, unfortunately. From there, the series will explore what looks to be another series full of twists and turns as well as new glimpses of Mike and his new acquaintances, including Edie Falco's Nina Hobbes. 'Mike's control over Kingstown is threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians' wake, compelling him to confront the resulting gang war and stop them from swallowing the town,' according to the official season 4 description. 'Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever before, Mike must contend with a headstrong new warden to protect his own while grappling with demons from his past.' It's clear that all the deadly deeds Mike has committed are catching up to him. Though one gang is out of the picture, another has risen, like cutting the head off a hydra. How they'll all interact with each other has yet to be seen, but in addition to the police warden Hobbes, Mike will be facing new characters Frank Moses (Lennie James) and Cindy Stephens (Laura Benanti), though little is known about their respective roles in season 4 just yet. According to Paramount, we'll see familiar faces returning as well: Hugh Dillon as detective Lt. Ian Ferguson, Taylor Handley as Lt. Kyle McLusky, Mike's younger brother and Ian's partner, Tobi Bamtefa as drug kingpin Deverin "Bunny" Washington, Derek Webster as detective Steview, Hamish Allan-Headley as police sergeant Robert Sawyer, and Nishi Munshi as Kyle's wife Tracy. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. There was a litany of explosive betrayals, deaths and changes with season 3 of "Mayor of Kingstown," but that looks like just the beginning. Season 4 is already sounding like a wild ride, so if you're ready to strap in, be seated for its October premiere.
